In 2006, Chris Hemsworth appeared on Australia’s celebrity/reality show Dancing With The Stars, strutting his stuff on the dance floor at the height of his Home & Away fame, half a decade before he became the God Of Thunder. Speaking of Home & Away, Hemsworth enjoyed, or perhaps endured, more than a few awkward moments on the set of that particular soap, with perhaps the best of the bunch being the time he had to faint on the beach due to a eating disorder. It’s… not great.

Jay Leno, the soon-to-be-retired US chat show host, managed to embarrass Thor (kind of) live on air with clips of both his dancing and his fainting, and it’s so enjoyable that we had to share it with you here. If you want to see Hemsworth’s one-scene appearance on rival Aussie soap opera Neighbours back in 2002, meanwhile, jump to 1.00 in this video, and brace yourself, because Thor speaks with a much higher voice than you're used to.

Tom Hiddleston is a GOD!!! We already knew that Portman is Awesome! But Tom is amazing!!! I'd love to meet him and be his best friend!!! About Chris... Just an eye candy and even then he doesn't say much... More
